What it comes down to is that America was started by Puritans, people so anal that 15th Century English people thought they were tight-asses.

a lot of that mentality has trickled down through the generations. I lived in europe a third of my life, so i dont really see nudity as a big deal either, but Bree is from Missouri originally and has some very strong opinions about it.

Understanding it wont really help, it is more of an emotional thing than anything. You see, Canada doesnt have a bible belt, we do. And I'm not saying you have to be religious to feel that nudity is inappropriate. Americans as a country are more predisposed to think nudity is unnecesary and/or bad. it's a product of being from this country. Hell, i remember German shampoo commercials with bare tits, during primetime (and we didnt even have cable). Europe and many other countries just dont consider it a big deal.

Trainspotting and 28 Days Later both have bare penis, which is almost unheard of in America. Dicks are dirty (well, many of them are....)

It comes down to mentality and use. if the audience doesnt like nudity, then any is inappropriate. If it is just there to sell tickets, i tend to think it is lame. pLus, they never had any women i was interested in naked anyway :p

The police would have to actually be able to see his penis.

what's lame - the nudity or the people it draws ?

again .. paying money for the chance to see a pair of naked breasts .. is that a reflection on the filmmakers or society ?

I think with me it usually comes down to this:

The actres sherself. IF she shows her tits tio get attention to help her carreer, fine (shannon elizabeth did it, and is cool with it)

Its the shee rnumber who do it repeadtedly, then whine that all they are is a pair of tits.

To be honest, im pretty apathetic about the whole thing. i get to see all the tits i want at home. Daily.

:)

there are places in the middle east where the women cover their hair but their breasts are barely concealed - because breasts are for feeding babies and hair is considered sensual.


WE make things dirty..us - we do.
the human body is no big deal - we all have one ..
but now that we've made sucha big deal about it - we have a million problems that go along with it ..

oh lord you have a selective memory ...
of course you dig your wife's boobs .. but there are a lot of actresses you'd be awfully happy to see unclothed ..
you've mentioned a number of them in the past ..

there's nothing wrong with that ... but dont pretend that seeing a gorgeous woman naked isnt a turn on..


and why is it - because we made the body such a secretive mysterious thing ...

i grew up in the same culture/society .. i love lovely naked women (or clothed) but my intuectual side can still see how rediculous it all is ..
